he just baited them into using a timeout

If this was his goal. Yay. 

[rockywoj]

Yet good, caused them to burn a TO

[Chrisaaron1023]

Oh wow lol

[krunk]

No idea what we were doing there!

[Solid84]

Oof, good counter by Harbaugh.

[chickenMan]

Lol Shane Steichen is f***ing with Harbaugh

[2006Coltsbestever]

He forced them to take a Timeout lol. 10-7 Colts. Shane tried twice 

[IndySouthsider]

Wait. The defense can slow walk their players and force a delay?

[HungarianColtsFan]

What was going on there?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

That was hillarious.

Moved us back so the field goal was easier to make. That close it’s actually tricky with aim. 

[rockywoj]

Whew.

[AKB]

fun to see coaching stuff like that 

[HungarianColtsFan]

Points

[Nelson56]

So the ref stands in the way and doesn't let us snap the ball and we get called for delay of game.  Make that make sense.

That’s what I’m wondering. I guess we can do that

We could just snap the ball, but Harbaugh gamled we wouldn't maybe?

He almost pulled it off again

Yes. If you sub on offense, you have to let the D sub too. The ref won’t blow the whistle to let you snap the ball until the D player being subbed out gets off the field. If the play clock runs out, that’s on you on the offense

We had to allow them to sub

[krunk]

I need me some Steichen in my life!  Gotta have me some Steichen!  Dial it up, Dial it up!

[AKB]

harbaugh using the counter, but we still win because they burn a timeout with a 3 minute drive looming

But can’t the defense just exploit that by walk/jogging on?

definitely something for the league to look at...

[JlynRN]

LOL Steichen messing with Harbaugh?

[stitches]

Pittman was loafing on his route, otherwise he might have had a shot...

To a certain extent yes, but if you did it over and over the refs would tell you to knock it off

[Chrisaaron1023]

Let's go defense!!!

But the ref blocked the snap 

[AKB]

rule should be offsides if defense doesnt lineup fast enough, but im sure the million dollar coaches find a way to exploit it either way 

[bluebombers87]

So why not do it and push them back 5 every time?

[2006Coltsbestever]

Harbaugh was like WTH  . Shane schooled the Veteran.

What a difference from Reich.

There are always loopholes

Because after you did it once the refs would probably flag you next time for delay of game on D. Considering they saw what Steichen was doing, they let Harbaugh counter him fo be fair, but if Harbaugh started doing that every play, the refs would stop it

Love a coach who would take the extra step and try to give his team every edge he possibly could. 

[Coltsman1788]

Colts get too cute for school sometimes. Just kick the darn field goal right there. No need to overthink this stuff. 

[RollerColt]

Oh my gawd LOL
